One of the most difficult things about getting into fighting games is the community. Not to say that they are actively forcing people out, but with their wealth of knowledge into the technical aspects of how to succeed in the FGC, it can become quite intimidating for a newcomer to get into games like Ultra Street […]

Shoryuken's The Fighting Game Primer, along with Seth Killians' Domination 101 articles on Shoryuken and Justin Wong's column on EventHubs, are very good ways to learn the game, and I've learned so much from them, from learning the very basics (no mashing, please) to how to become a training room monster to how to prepare myself for tournaments. Absolutely wonderful way to introduce people to the unforgiving (yet incredibly rewarding) world of fighting games.

The folks over at Mad Catz recently uploaded some great footage from NYU Spring Fighter 2013 a couple of weekends ago that you won't want to miss. The main event was a special Q&A session between Daigo Umehara and Seth Killian, during which they...

Pretty old news, but very insightful look to the mind of the greatest 2D fighting gamer of all time, interviewed by the 'face' of the Fighting Game community. It's amazing how Daigo is able to play such level of footsies and fundamentals and bring a very middle-tier Ryu to such a high level.

After taking a week off after Evo, UltraChen TV returns with a brand new installment of their podcast. James Chen is set to lead the charge tonight with a discussion on the different levels of fighting game strategy, and plans to touch on things like...

The perfect way to learn the game, together with 2 of the very best commentators in FGC, James Chen and Ultra David.

Decapre is funny in the sense that she's a charge-character, but she also needs to rush down, which is counter-intuitive with the charge-character style of gameplay. Instead of being a competent offensive charge character that can rush down, she becomes a boring defensive charge character without proper defensive tools

Possibly the single greatest discussion on FGC, the discussion really displays the personality of each of the six great players. Daigo mentioning that most "anti-fireball" techniques actually only refers to Ryu's fireball more than anything else is especially interesting and reflects how deeply he knows his character. It's also amazing to finally learn why Daigo has finally gone to the dark side and decided to play Evil Ryu instead of Ryu. In many ways, E. Ryu is just Ryu but better, albeit a little more predictable with its over reliance on c.MK to Hadouken. Bullying Kazunoko for picking Yun also never gets old.

It's a very special day for everybody's favorite red headband-wearing fighter. According to his bio from the Street Fighter II series, Capcom's very own Ryu was born this day in 1964. After almost 30 years of battling foes like Sagat, M. Bison, and even...

And Daigo's main is now 50! I wish I could be that ripped and fit when I turn 50 too! Oh, and not to mention looking that young.

Every year, we say "next year can't be this hype! It's too much!" Well, this time it's true. Not many can live up to that comeback between Garireo and Dogura! Not a BlazBlue player myself, but I can definitely appreciate that finale and that comeback!

Many people thought that, with the amount of nerfs Fei Long received during the USFIV update, Fei Long would be dead. Well, they thought wrong, with Mago (arguably the 2nd best Fei player in the world) still telling people and teaching people that Fei is still relevant
